From the Principal

With the Federal Government apparently back in some semblance of order, I am hopeful that the Gonski Report into School Funding will now be carefully considered. The Government has the opportunity to ‘lift all boats’. Education is a critical issue for our nation’s future. The Gonski Report has indicated clearly that further funding is required across all sectors of education and that the old political divide between public and private is a dead argument. In paying for their own children’s education, the parents of students in independent schools supplement the cost of education for the nation as a whole. It is difficult to see the Government acting decisively before the election, but it is the case that a funding agreement of some sort will need to be ratified in the next 24 months to ensure the continuance of education funding.
